1. John R.
“John is amazing! He is so caring and thoughtful with our dog, Sadie. She loves him! He provided updates and pictures throughout the day and never missed a beat! I would recommend him to anyone looking for peace of mind about the care of your dog while you are away.”
2. Maribel R.
“We were in Callaway, VA for a wedding and we left our pup with Maribel and her family for the day while we attended the event. Leading up to our trip, Maribel put me at ease with fast and professional communication and flexibility when our drop-off time changed. During the visit, Maribel shared awesome pictures of our pooch in action. Upon pickup, pup was all smiles and tail wags. It is evident that Maribel and her family treat your pet like their own during boarding. We were able to attend the wedding worry-free, knowing that Dante was in great hands. I HIGHLY recommend Maribel for your pet sitting needs.”

We will definitely being using her again for future trips and visits!”

“Thank you for taking such good care of my sugar muffin while I was on a trip! ♡Thank you for the daily updates and pictures!”
8. Henry & Cheryle B.
“Henry and Cheryle aren't just dog sitters, they are truly dog people. As an anxious dog mom who wishes I could take my pup everywhere, sometimes you just can't and need to find trustworthy care. Henry and Cheryle were recommended by another rover sitter who was unavailable and I'm so glad to have met them. They provide a loving home and became grandparents to Silas. He slept with them, went on long walks, and I was sent updates throughout his stay. I was immediately put at ease with their quick responses to messages and the updates they sent throughout Silas's stay. When it was time to pick him up, he ran and jumped on each of them as if to say THANK YOU for taking such great care of him.”
9. Kristen S.

11. Linda & David L.
“This is Rambo’s second home. He really loves it there and has so many friends. He goes on lots of walks and clearly loves them. I feel like I’m dropping him off at his grandparent’s house. LOL. Thanks again Linda and David. ❤️”
12. Richard & Kelly V.
“Richard could not have been nicer and my dogs seem to have enjoyed their stay! I was worried about my 15 month old English bulldog pouting the entire time, but Richard won her over. The location is wonderfully located high above the daily humdrum. If your pets are used to country living, they will thoroughly enjoy a stay here! I highly recommend and will be using for future needs.”
13. Emily M.
“Emily is great!! Our dog pepper was very well cared for & loved being in her home. It was a wonderful feeling to go on vacation & feel good about who was caring for our dog.”
14. Pamela P.
“Our puppy had recently been rescued from a shelter and we didn't want to leave her in a traditional kennel, we wanted her to be in a home environment with loving people. We are so glad we found Pam, our puppy was very comfortable with her and we could tell she bonded with her. When we picked her up, she was running, jumping and playing with the other dogs in the home and seemed perfectly content. We will definitely use Pamela again, it's nice to have peace of mind when we go out of town and not have to worry about how our puppy is coping.”
15. Greg & Corrie V.
“We love having Corrie and Greg watch our puppy! They are very nice and incredible with pets. Their entire family is wonderful and we love how our puppy can interact with their children and their pets too! 10/10 would always recommend them to anyone!”
16. Donna B.
“This was my first time using Donna for my fur baby and let me just tell you she spoiled him rotten. She was so attentive to him and made him feel right at home. When I first met Donna she was very welcoming to both me and my little one. She made me feel at ease. I knew I made right choice and I definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much Donna for all the love and care you gave to my lilman . ❤️❤️”
